Decision details

To utilise the Portfolio Holder’s delegated authority (as agreed by Cabinet on 10 November 2005) to approve the revised boundaries of the Conservation Area at Teversham, together with the approval of the draft Design Guidance, and to take a report to Cabinet seeking the adoption of the Design Guidance as Council Policy (subject to incorporating the changes outlined in the report presented to Conservation Advisory Group on 26 April 2006).

1.                  The modern housing on Lady Jermy Way is of no historic or architectural interest and therefore does not meet the criteria of inclusion, and the boundaries of the Conservation Area can be revised to remove this housing and still retain a logical outline.

2.                  The proposed additions are of sufficient architectural and / or historic interest to warrant inclusion.

3.                  Adoption of the Design Guidance as Council Policy will give it status for consideration in planning applications for developments affecting the Conservation Area. 

Rejected Option:

To require officers to prepare a revised draft appraisal incorporating revisions to the boundaries of the proposed Conservation Area.  Disagree

Reason:

The proposed boundaries for the Conservation Area are appropriate.
